    This was filmed in February, which was a perfect time to visit Joshua Tree! The weather was high 60s, sun was out, and the park wasn't too busy. If you're looking for a good late winter getaway next year, be sure to add this one to your list. Hope you all are staying well 💛

      Allison Anderson Thank you for your videos. I see you switched cameras from a fujifilm x-t2 to a sony aiii. I see people switching from a sonyaiii to a fujifilm x-t3. Could you explain why you seitched cameras? Im considering buying but Im currently undecided. Since you have experience with both cameras, what would you suggest?

    I’m an astrophotographer and JT is my go-to for dark skies. I’ve spent many nights alone in the dark in remote locations - but if it makes you feel any better, the first time I tried to get Milky Way shots inside the park, I couldn’t concentrate because it was SO dark and the environment seemed so alien.
    Over the years I’ve figured out ways to get past this - shooting near campsites, near the observatory, or at least in parking lots - but JT is freaky at night and I don’t blame you for your reaction.
    One of the great things about JT is the abundance of secluded, well-outfitted but inexpensive short-term rentals - these days when I go I just set up in the yard of my rental and get great shots without feeling like I’m in a horror movie.😂

    This felt so so wholesome. I’m 21 and from London and I would absolutely love to go travelling round the national parks in America. I used to go as a kid every year and would do the junior ranger programmes. Watching this video literally made my heart skip a bit because it brings back such amazing memories of my childhood. Can’t wait until I can go back and explore. ❤️

    My parents used to take me to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs every February when I was young, and this brought back so many good memories. It's such a beautiful time to be out hiking and exploring... loved this so much :)

    • @allisonanderson
      @allisonanderson  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You shouldn't be afraid at night at Joshua Tree. It's an Oasis in the High Desert 🏜️ in SoCal ❤️. At night it's like this 👀. Fresh air and freedom from Seattle, Washington. For the price of airfare, I'd fly once a month to our Desert treasure of peace and quiet plus ❤. Beautiful video and photo shoot.

    A few months back you inspired me to plan my first solo trip! It was actually going to be this week and I was going to visit Bryce, Arches, and other nations parks in Utah. I obviously had to postpone due to covid.
    So this video is the cure I needed to help keep the travel bug at bay! ❤️

    you inspire me, as a female about to graduate college (with a major that doesn't really do it for me) I am feeling a little lost at the moment but visiting new places has always been on my mind, and I believe its exactly what I need! I'm in love with the desert and only been to Joshua Tree once and it was magical. I don't have a car at the moment but as soon as I get one I am travelling! Thank you for these beautiful videos

I love how calm you are in front of the camera as most TH-camrs are full of this unauthentic energy. I am heading out to Joshua Tree this weekend and although it will be unbearably hot, I'm looking forward to exploring and inspired to catch the sunrise! xx

    Great video! We visited in Joshua Tree in February. Camped in our RTT at Hidden Valley for one night. We got to camp in the dark, snowing, temps going down. One of the coldest nights of camping I ever experienced. We made drove the Geology Tour Road in our Jeep and it was amazing! Lots of good pictures and video.

    I’ve been going in and out of JT for a few years now and I still leave absolutely amazed by this national park. Today, I checked out the Arch Rock trail and found it super fun hiking on top of huge boulders. I did get an annual pass because I know I’ll want to go back with friends but if not, I’ll go solo just like you. Great video!
